It's very convenient to characterize the cost as just "missing two years of convenient daycare". If you can't at least recognize that real harm was done to many children, you're not going to convince anybody that the "sacrifices to prevent suffering in others" argument is really on your side.
- carapace 4y ago> recognize that real harm was done to many children Of course I do, that's what I meant by "making sacrifices", eh? The author of the article is the one characterizing school as mostly convenient daycare. He's saying private school is preferable because it provided daycare functions more than public schools, not that it has better educational outcomes. He's saying that it frees up the parents to "do" the economy, eh? It's not even "think of the children".
